An update on director Roman Polanski's arrest...He will fight extradition attempts...
A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said they discovered last week that Polanski had plans to travel to Zurich this weekend to receive an award at the film festival and prepared paperwork for his arrest as Switzerland which has extradition treaties with the US.
A spokesman for the Swiss Federal Department of Justice and Police says that if Polanski agrees with an extradition, he could be sent to the U.S. in the next few days but if not, a lengthy court process could stretch out for months or years.
Hours ago, French and Polish officials urged Switzerland to free Polanski on bail and pressed U.S. officials all the way up to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to intervene.
Stay Tuned...

Yes, Roman did admit he had sex with the 13 year old girl; however, he was not charged with rape. … what he did was wrong, even if it was long ago, he still was made responsible for this…
